This volunteer links the Bugbee community to West Hartford-based non-profit Growing Great Schools. From the GGS website:

Growing Great Schools inspires communities to create a culture of wellness by connecting food, health and the environment.

The vision of Growing Great Schools is to empower students and their families to become active participants in their nutritional and physical health, while caring for the planet. We aim to live in a world that is free of food insecurity by creating opportunities for families to connect to sustainable food sources.

Growing Great Schools seeks to ensure that all students have access to local, healthy food, and food education, sustainable gardening, and physical activity. We emphasize the connections between food, physical literacy and social/emotional wellness as a part of thriving community.
